My Compost Bin And I

John writes "There they were, staring at me with a last glimmer of hope. I tried to turn to avoid the cries of help they echoed, but they were too much for me to bare. Minutes later, with an insight of knowledge, I quickly devised a plan to rescue these dying souls. And out of the bitter remains I found around my place of refuge, I constructed a home for them - somewhere where they could be in peace - a compost bin. The vegetable scraps rejoiced! Their time of suffering was no longer, for my divine plan had taken effect. "

Re:Why not a worm bin?

[MasteroftheVoxel]

This is pretty digusting. I cannot believe that someone would actually do this *indoors*. Red worms are not really that palatable, and most of us like to keep vermin - cockroaches, flies, maggots, etc OUT of our garbage. Why would anyone want to willingly put this on their kitchen counter? This sounds just like a disease waiting to happen. Not only that but you have have 2000 worms for 1 pound of garbage! And move the bedding around each time you add garbage? And they mention the risk of the worms escaping?

And don't even mention the horrible smell that they say is the most common complaint.

I'm sorry, I can't even imagine ever doing this.

and for the much larger family...
